CHNC challenge 627

Wishing you a very Happy New Year

A sad announcement

Having run this Christmas challenge blog for twelve years, I've been thinking it's time for a break .... this hasn't been an easy or quick decision, but one that has been on my mind for some time and recent family situations and life in general has made me realise that this is the right decision. I've been through difficult times during those twelve years and have never missed a challenge. So this week's challenge is the last one.

I've been so grateful for all those who have been on the design team over the years, including, of course, the present ones - also for the many sponsors who were so generous. So many have shared their inspirational designs and so many wonderful crafters have entered the challenges to share theirs.

Thank you so much for all of your wonderful festive designs shared last week.

We look forward to seeing all of your lovely festive crafting this week.

Challenge 627 - our final challenge

New Year creation

Here are the designs from myself and the rest of my wonderful team - I am so grateful to them for sharing their lovely designs:
